Scholarships
Student Teacher Scholarship Sponsored by the Helen McKay Memorial
Scholarship Requirements and Procedures
Two scholarships of $2,000 each will be awarded to two student teachers intending to teach in the Hawaii State Department of Education who are enrolled in a State Approved Teacher Education Program as a full-time undergraduate or post baccalaureate candidate in any state-approved or nationally accredited institution of higher learning or enrolled in a Hawaii SATE alternative licensure program in the 2025-2026 academic year. Scholarships are awarded to student teachers to minimize the need for employment during the student teaching semester. All awardees will require Hawaii Education Association (HEA) membership by the fifth day after notification to activate the scholarship.
Employees, officers and directors of HEA, and their immediate family members and individuals living in the same household (whether related or not) of such employee, officer or director are not eligible to apply.
